And Then There Were None (update)

I´m finished with my play. I don´t really think it was ready for the stage, but such is life. I had a great time AND am glad it is over. That is really the best I could hope for. The Star Phoenix review of the show didn´t encourage last minute ticket sales, but there were a couple of nice words for yours truly. Considering the opening line of the review, I´m not sure you can take any of it seriously (good or bad).

I would have just given you the link to the Star Phoenix, itself, but I am really excited about the newspaper service called Press Display. SPL subscribes to it and it is free to use for anyone in the library or out (if you have a valid library card). It is a very powerful conglomeration of world newspapers that you can browse page by page, ads and all. It is the closest thing to reading a newspaper but with all the search-ability that I rely on from computers. It will read to you, if you like, or translate, etc...

If you have trouble logging into Press Display, go to SPL´s website, click ´reference databases´'--> ´magazines, journals and newspapers´ --> and finally ´press display´ Don´t forget that you´ll need your library card #

To be honest there is a lot of really awesome stuff in the reference databases section of SPL´s site. Nice of them to pay me to browse through all of it last month during my ¨phase II¨ library training.

Congrats on your performance Captain. Press Display looks good, I must look into Calgary's library and see if I can get that service.

A former co-worker dropped in at the store to say hi to everyone, and took the opportunity to compliment your performance :)

So, congrats!

Perhaps there is a school you can attend that will teach you how to find perfect gifts for your friends. I haven't been there, but I know someone who should be lecturing. From the hands of the man who brought me lock-picks, Swiss army knives and countless... Liquid Metal ... dangerous (previous blog entry) Prince Rupert's Drops ... adventures !(another old post) I give you Shape Lock , which is a brand name for something more generally known as "friendly plastics" or polycaprolactone (wikipedia). We had loads of fun with it the first day, but had to keep it on a shelf for a few days to allow me to speak directly to other humans. Even then concentration was difficult. My mind raced constantly thinking of cool uses for this stuff. Eventually, when the Christmas hubbub was dying down, I settled on a project that I've wanted to attempt for a long time -- making a custom attachment for my Gorilla Pod . Before we go any further, if at any time you find yo

If you see Lake Louise, start walking in the other direction

These direction might be a little bit rough. You could probably get away with these type of vague instructions on the prairie without becoming seriously lost. Although death from boredom is a distinct possibility for some. At any rate, the title of this post gives you a pretty good idea how to begin my latest mountain expedition. As always, I was guided into the wilds by fellow Quester, Dave Aschim. We are starting to have a bit of a mountain legacy: 2009 ,  2010 , 2011 , 2014 , and now 2015 A map with a rough route drawn on it can be found here . One more note. I took a series of "geo panoramas" or " photospheres " as Google calls them. If you follow one of the links to Google Maps (I tried to imbed on the site, but failed), it isn't just a static image. On a laptop or desktop PC, you should be able to click the compass or click and drag the image to see an entire 360 degree view. The resolution isn't as good as my DSLR camera, but for now, it is stil
